how often do you weigh?

I weigh daily, first thing in the morning. Don't know why, it's just become habit. I am curious of my body's flucuations, I guess. When I am actively trying to lose weight, I only count my weigh in once a week, normally on Friday.

I weigh in a lot. In the mornings usually and sometimes after a work out just to see the change. It's normally more when I do stregnth training and less after I run. My official weigh in day that I actually record is Wednesday mornings.

Every single day at the exact same time...morning. And I track it on an excel graph. After about 3 to 4 weeks, you'll start to see a pattern in your fluctuations, it's pretty neat. It's also helpful in seeing your progress.

I was curious how often y'all weigh? I weigh on Monday's generally b/c I think that's the most normal representation after a weekend and what I need to do during the week. lol
Curious what y'all do...

Once a week, every Friday. I drink on the weekends so I like to give myself time to work that off so Monday is out

I believe the best way to measure your weight is once a week by experience. Why? Well lets say you are doing really good this week and you step on the scale and it records a nice loss. All to often we take that as a great thing and instead of continuing on for the rest of the week we give ourselves a break hence not having the best week we could of.

Now the flip side is you look at the scale and it tells you what you don't want to see. Often we get discouraged and it can push over the deep end causing us to want to give up etc.

Sounds silly but you know what most of us are not in this battle because of great choices so we must understand how things can help or hurt us. Once a week and then you can build from week to week.

I actually weigh myself almost every morning because it keeps me centered. If I do not weigh in I might be more likely to think I am doing better than I am. Plus, if I see an increase of more than .5 pounds from the previous day I can look back and see if there was something I did differently. I know that there is a lot of debate that you should only weigh once per week and I understand that; but for me personally it is one of tools I need. I need to have something that keeps me focused and on track ... if I don't stick to the routine I completely fall off.

I weigh first thing in the morning just about every day. After I pee, pre-shower. The number gives me an idea of what my day should be like diet and exercise wise. Up a pound? Drink more water today and watch the sugars. Down a few? Celebrate, feel great about myself, extra motivaton to workout believe it or not! Any time I see a loss I record it, and I don't record gains. I am trying really hard to stay positive through this whole thing so I don't beat myself down and quit (like I always have before) and I think my "system" works really well to keep that attitude.

Like a lot of people here, I chack more often than I record. I still try not to check more than every few days, just because the fluctuations can be discouraging. I like to officially weigh in on Mondays, but to be honest, because of certain health issues, I generally "believe" the weight I take right after I have a good evacuation, if you know what I mean ;-}
Being female and having IBS means water and wastes effect my weight significantly. Other people have different issues. Like everything else, one-size-fits-all is a complete lie. Do what works for you.

Daily. I like to understand exactly what my diet tweaks and exercise does to my body. I record anything I lose as very generally when I lose, I don't get it back again. If I weighed weekly and waited all week and the number didn't change or happened to be up on that day, I'd be gutted!!!

I'm a daily morning scale junkie. I have to keep focused and seeing the number keeps me on track.

I typically will weigh in on Saturday mornings. However, I think I'm going to change to Monday's because in the past when I get a satisfying reading - I would tend to eat "a little more" over the weekend! Then, I'm back to square one - Ugh!!!

Cheers!

I would usually weigh in every day, and was getting obsessed with the scale and frustrated by the numbers. I vowed not to weigh myself from Dec 1st until I go out of town o nthe 23rd. I think that having a looming weigh in will help keep me motivated, as well as not getting frustrated by weight fluctuations. It's a hard habit to break though!

Monday mornings after I get out of bed.

I weigh in on Friday mornings first thing when I get up. I've also started weighing in on the first and last day of the month since I've joined some monthly challenges. Very rarely do I weigh myself aside from that. I do have a Wii Fit, so sometimes if I'm doing exercise on that I'll check my weight, but I try to avoid that if possible just so I don't stress about it.

Wednesdays, no real reason, just the day I started doing my weigh-ins.
